I will say that I feel no threat to my privacy on Facebook because I limit my interactions to people who are my family, known friends and colleagues. All the business networking that I do there I restrict to the new FAN PAGE.

Hi James – Thanks for your comment. Did you see the news yesterday? Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is promising improvements to the Facebook privacy settings because of all the heat he/his company has gotten about the changes they made it April. Should be interesting to see what comes next! – Kimberly

Hi Kimberly! Your post is very informative and it needs to be read by Facebook members. While Facebook may be ok stewards of our personal details, we may not want to trust third parties, and we should always have the option to say no.

Thanks you for sharing this content!

I agree that many of these sites ask for too much information. I think we all should be careful about the stuff we have for the public to see. I have seen where some people post their life history and later it came back to haunt them. This is a very useful post. Thanks for sharing.

Great point Ross! Many people also don’t realize that the address you use when purchasing a domain name is publicly available on the internet unless you pay extra for a private domain registration. I use a P O Box address as my primary business address and also when registering domains to “help’ protect my privacy. Thanks for commenting, Kimberly

I liked your post it is informative, however as for the birth date well, understand that what you don’t share is sometimes as important as what you do share. A very simple reverse check of your phone number can many times reveal all of that information. A simple search with $10.00 will reveal everyone with your name in the US and so forth. At times it is sad to actually understand what all is available on the internet whether we put it there or not. Just my two cents

Thanks for commenting Nelly. The bottom-line is if people are mindful of what they post in their profiles and status updates, they can enjoy the benefits of social networking without baring all. – Kimberly

This is a good reminder to be careful of what goes public online. Although we do want to get to know people you meet online, there definitely are pros and cons as to what personal data is released.
